White Sox Locker Room Is Not A Safe Environment For Women, Real Or Inflatable

Ozzie Guillen and the White Sox are now in the midst of being criticized (again) by some sports writers and the Association For Women In Sports Media for their creative blow-up doll, slump-busting shrine. The Association said said the shrine creates an "uncomfortable" environment for female sports writers in the locker room. Via the National Post, comes this description of the shrine which featured two female blow-up dolls: More »

Ozzie Guillen Does A Brilliant Ozzie Guillen Impersonation

Perhaps it's appropriate that Ozzie Guillen would unleash one of his patented expletive-filled tirades on Chicago fans, the Cubs, and media outlets just a few short days removed from the 25th anniversary of Lee Elia's epic f-bomb ranting. Maybe it was an homage. But more likely it was just Ozzie Guillien being his usual colorful self. More »

"Show Me Where Mariotti Touched You, Alex"

We can't quite put our finger on why a picture of Ozzie Guillen talking to Alex Rodriguez while A-Rod violently adjusts his crotch region is funny .... but it nevertheless is. More »

Jay Mariotti Has Returned

Fret not, loyal Chicago-area readers: Your long national nightmare is now over. After a month-long "vacation" that followed Ozzie Guillen Fag-gate, Chicago Sun-Times "columnist" Jay Mariotti has signed a three-year deal with the paper, assuring his smiling face will grace the paper's pages four days a week for the next three years.

Also, They Make Their Tamales Way Too Hot

It takes a special kind of person to come into a verbal confrontation with White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen and come out looking like the more unreasonable one ... but if anyone can do it, it's Andy Van Slyke. More »

Lick Your Lips And Prepare To Enjoy Ozzie Guillen

Ozzie Guillen: Gay community icon? He's on his way, as an alternative lifestyle supper club in Chicago has named a drink after the Jay Mariotti-bashing manager of the White Sox. And by the way; white socks with black shoes? How tacky, Chicago. From the Chicago Sun-Times: More »

Jay The Joke: For All Your Jay Mariotti Mocking Needs

For skewering of our friend Jay Mariotti, quite frankly, we like to think we take a back seat to no one. Well, excepting perhaps Jay the Joke, a new blog dedicated to, as they put it "uniting Cubs fans and Sox fans through a common hatred of Jay Mariotti." And in so doing, does this blog not unite us all? Of course we chronicled the existence of Jay the Joke last week, which helped prompt this mention in the Chicago Tribune, which is always good: More »

The Manly, Manly Sports Reporters

So we've been noticing something goofy going on with the coverage of the Ozzie Guillen-Jay Mariotti story; on the whole, the sturm und drang seems to be directed away from Guillen, who, after all, is Ozzie Guillen, a guy whose rantings whom we all kind of accept like the drunk uncle at Thanksgiving who's convinced the reason he can't hold down a job is because of immigration. Whaddya gonna do? He is who he is. More »

Jay Mariotti's Desires Slowly Revealing Themselves

Sometimes, it's instructive to look at why some stories go away within minutes of coming out — Peter Gammons' accidental plagarism — and some stories linger indefinitely, like that sticky film that just won't rinse away. More »

In Ozzie Guillen's Corner... John Rocker

In regards to the MLB-mandated sensitivity training, Ozzie Guillen can go one of two ways. He can go to the training, or he can go the John Rocker route. Here are John's thoughts on the situation: More »

Ozzie Guillen Has Had Just About Enough Of You

In the aftermath of calling Jay Mariotti a hag (or something like that), Ozzie Guillen was ordered by Bud Selig to undergo sensitivity training. Ozzie said he wasn't going to do it, the media grilled him about it last night, and then Ozzie slipped back into Ozzie mode. More »

A Helpful Tip For Ozzie Guillen, And It's Free

mariottiisadouche.jpgLast night, before yet another brutal pasting of the Cardinals — hey, look, the White Sox just put another 10-spot on the board, and it's only noon! — White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen apologized for his reference to Chicago Sun-Times and "Around The Horn" "reporter" Jay Mariotti as a "fag," but not to Mariotti, saying, "Nobody likes that man here. I don't care what he thinks about me. Jerry [Reinsdorf] talked to me and said I should [think] about the word I used. [But Mariotti] is a piece of garbage, he always has been garbage and always will be garbage." More »
